Plot: Devon is concerned about her sister’s unhealthy relationship with her new boss.
The sirens series was forgettable.
Pros: It does a good job keeping us guessing who to route for or who’s the baddie? At times I felt like I was watching a Dark comedy. Milly Alcock & Meghann Fahy did so well betraying sisters, I was emotionally invested in their story. Julianne Moore’s character Michaela does well both acting sensibly & villainously. Jose was my favourite character from this show. And I like how they rap ups Kevin Bacon’s character in a nice way.
Cons: I became impatient with the family drama when the series was still happening. A lot of the plot lines did feel dragged. Each motivation became questionable. The ending caught me off guard & having less episodes wasn’t enough to tell this story in my opinion.
